A survey on cloud logistics service mode is proposed according to the new characteristics and new connotation of logistics services based on cloud computing from the view-point of management. In the logistics service under cloud computing environment, the logistics service mode is described from the different periods, different functions and different objects. Firstly, this paper analyzes the r...

This research study presents a comprehensive model for selection of decisive criteria to develop and integrate a fourth-party logistics concept in humanitarian logistics sector. The model is based on applying an analytic network process for determination of final criteria selection for a fourth-party logistics solution. The analytic network process is used to solve complex multiple qualitative ...

There are interaction effects between rural logistics and economic development. The effect rural logistics has on the economic development presents as an S-shaped curve. So the interaction effects between rural logistics and economic development vary at different stage. It’s necessary to analyse the interaction effects to make the appropriate policies to promote the development of rural logisti...

This paper presents a generalized weighted vertex p-center (WVPC) model that represents uncertain nodal weights and edge lengths using prescribed intervals or ranges. The objective of the robust WVPC (RWVPC) model is to locate p facilities on a given set of candidate sites so as to minimize worst-case deviation in maximum weighted distance from the optimal solution. The RWVPC model is well-suit...

Road accidents, as one of the causes mortality in human societies, have many adverse social and economic consequences. Various measures can improve safety travel. One them is to find appropriate location relief infrastructures. The proper pre-positioning chains locations  decrease road users’ fatalities. Thus this paper presents a  multi-objective mathematical model a chain for accidents. Then ...

At present, the scattered and closed steel logistics resource should be integrated. Reasonable benefit allocation mechanism is the prerequisite for steel logistics resources integration. Based on previous studies on steel logistics resource integration, this paper proposes an important problem in steel logistics resources integration: benefit distribution. First, this paper gives the classifica...

Logistics processes in a globalised economy are increasingly complex, dynamic, and distributed. These properties pose major challenges for logistics planning and control. Conventional centralised approaches are frequently limited in their efficiency due to the high number of logistics objects and parameters to be considered. As an alternative, the paradigm of autonomous control in logistics del...
